Sometimes the water doesn’t come out of the hand held tool and I have to fiddle with the tubing coming from the base to make it work.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This newer Water Pik is a little easier to use and maintain and does the same great job of keeping my gums and teeth healthy as the original model which I had for many years
My oral surgeon recommended using a waterpik after getting a few dental implants. I started using the waterpik right away and my teeth have never felt so clean! I love the feeling! I’ve been using it every night and I’m obsessed! It’s a bit difficult to use since is a bit of a pain to manipulate- water gets all over my hand. Returning the cord to its position after use is somewhat hard but the clean feeling is worth this small inconvenience. I’m so happy i bought it.
